Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy
to store the appliance.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on
the heating element. It is advisable to
remove any such deposits at regular
intervals.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insufficient descaling.
∙ A mixture of 0.5 litres of water and 40 ml

solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short
period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
∙ D uring descaling, ensure sufficient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Cleaning and care

is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the kettle and the base with water
and do not immerse them in water. Do
not clean under running water.
∙ For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
